Artist's Statement

I grew up in a beautiful town north of Boston, drinking in the ocean breezes and the bright, sparkling colors of nature. Drawing, painting, and mixed-media collage using bold line and bright color are my current passions and means of expressing my emotional response to what I see. The movement and rhythms of dance also inspire me, transferred to the canvas through the use of white space and energetic spatial relationships, guiding the viewer's eye around the surface.

Studying the Fauves and other early-20th century artists began my experimentation with using flattened surface treatment and strong color. I  have worked as a designer of printed textiles; as an assistant to "Katja of Sweden" (Katja Geiger - a designer of high-end printed apparel and linens); and later as a freelance textile designer for several women's sportswear manufacturers. 


Presently, I am experimenting with mixed media collage in addition to my usual acrylics on canvas. My major subjects are nature, interiors, and the human form. I think of the objects in my still lifes as characters or models, and I try to bring life to their stillness. I enjoy the challenge of expressing my emotional response to arrangements of everyday objects or to the natural world, creating a balanced design using bold color, expressive line, flattened perspective, decorative pattern, and layout that is expressive and exuberant -  and not necessarily realistic. I use white space to create sparkle and movement.

My mixed-media collages have taken me in a new direction, freeing me from "the object" and allowing me to explore the freedom of abstraction.
 

As you visit this site, I hope you will experience joy, energy, and a whimsical look at the world.
